They say we’re keeping an eye on Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface, thinking the powerful 22-year-old could contribute something fresh to Eddie Howe’s assault.
Toon scouts are said to have traveled to Portugal during the international break to see the Nigerian play in games against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique. He joined Leverkusen in the summer from Union Saint-Gilloise and has scored nine goals in his first ten outings.
The same article indicates that Howe is interested in bringing in Arsenalâ€TMs Emile Smith Rowe. Under Mikel Arteta, the England U21 star has battled for game time, but he is seen as a promising talent who may thrive on Tyneside.
Last but not least, Man City midfielder Kalvin Phillips has been named as a January target, with Toon officials waiting to see if the 27-year-old will leave the Etihad in the new year.
